MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 9, 2012) -- The No. 1 shaft manufacturer in golf, True Temper Sports is proud to report that the 76th Masters Tournament champion followed in the footsteps of every previous Masters champion by playing and winning with shafts by True Temper.

With Dynamic Gold in his irons, Grafalloy BiMatrix in his driver and Project X graphite in his woods, the Masters champion thrilled the crowd with spectacular shot placement and consistency. The long-hitting left-hander shot a final round 68 for a 10-under-par 278 to force an exciting sudden death playoff, in which both pros played Dynamic Gold and Project X graphite.

With 70 sets in play, True Temper shafts were the clear favorite among professionals at The Masters. The victory marked the 76th consecutive win at The Masters for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper, an incredible distinction for the company and its golf shafts.

"The Masters is clearly one of the most revered tournaments in the history of golf, and the dramatic finish in the final two holes on Sunday and the subsequent playoff really lived up to the event's reputation," says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. "Shafts by True Temper are clearly favored by the best players in the world and that is why every Masters Champion for the past 76 years has had our shafts in their bags."
